Elongation of Escherichia coli by cold or cinnamaldehyde exposure and transcriptomic changes during cinnamaldehyde dissimilation
Refrigeration has been found to cause cell elongation in mesophilic enteric organisms like commensal Escherichia coli and E. coli O157:H7. As elongated cells may divide into multiple daughter cells, they may result in underestimation of pathogen numbers in foods when plate counts are used. When E. c...
